Summary

This week I spoke with Bishop Stephen Cottrell. I wanted to speak to him because I read his book of analyses on the paintings of British artist Stanley Spencer, famous for painting Christ in every day situations. We discuss faith and spirituality, what a modern church should look like, his role as a Bishop and what it really means to follow the Christian faith. I thought it would be interesting, and it was interesting to talk to someone who has a doctrinaire committed faith in one particular aspect of religion.
